In reality, it's a lot to deal with. Luckily, there are a number of steps you can take beforehand to make the move to Tulsa less anxious than it may be otherwise.
Though the process will never be entirely simple, these three steps may help reduce your tension.
Moving always necessitates changing your permanent address. Important documents, websites, and service providers will all need to be contacted. Handling these steps beforehand will permit you to check this item off your schedule and concentrate more entirely on your new house when you get there.

As with the change of address rules, most states have a required time period by which you should exchange your old license for a new one, so be certain that you confirm with your new state's DMV website to fully grasp the time period in which getting a new license will be a requirement.
Many states call for an in-person visit to the DMV, others let you to finish the complete process online. Taking care of this chore before yourmove will ease the transition and free up valuable settling-in time in your new state of residence—especially during the pandemic, when concerns of virus spread complicate even the simplest chores.

Before you get to the final chores of packing up, always make sure to take a moment to pack bags for yourself (and, if applicable, for your family) which will include everything you'll want for the following several days in route:
Additionally do not forget about your pets! Double check that they have several days' worth of supplies packed up also.
